Saturday Night Live’s 50th season wrapped up in 2024 with a memorable moment during the “Weekend Update” segment, where hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che performed their annual joke swap. The segment, featured in episode 10, took a surprising turn thanks to a stunning cameo that added to its impact.
Jost and Che have been the faces of “Weekend Update” since 2014, following Seth Meyers’ departure. The skit has been a staple of the show since its debut in 1975, when Chevy Chase became the first cast member to sit behind the desk. Nearly 50 years later, Jost and Che continue the tradition, with their joke swap becoming one of the most anticipated parts of the show.
Each year, the two comedians write jokes for the other to deliver during the final “Weekend Update” of the year. Fans eagerly await this segment, which has become a tradition filled with humor and controversy. Jost and Che are known for pushing boundaries, often crafting crude, controversial jokes that test their co-host’s ability to deliver them with a straight face. Over the years, the annual skit has produced many unforgettable moments.
However, the 50th season’s joke swap stands out as one of the best, largely due to one unexpected and “brutal” cameo that caught everyone off guard.
